 Hi.

 Has anyone experienced oil leak at the prop flange of the Ross 2.17 drive,
 ifso what was the culprit,  the prop flange pins or the plug in the end of
 shaft.
 I developed a leak returning from the RV flyin at Oswego NY last week end (2
 litres in 3 hrs.), Short of taking the gear box off and pressurizing it ,
 I'm looking for a quick fix?

  Yes I had this problem and I sent it back twice to have the hub
replaced and reground to fix the seal problem, Chris Ross said that
the pins had to be bored out with a carbide end mill and the hub
pressed off with a 20 ton press, what a piss poor design hu.
  I then had the pins start leaking shortly there after so to stop the
leak I used permatex ultra blue gooping it on thick and it worked
fine.
